Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Customers have mixed opinions on the RST Pro Series Adventure-X jacket. Some find it warm, comfortable, and well-ventilated, appreciating features like multiple pockets and the ability to hold a water bladder. Others criticize its performance in heavy rain and note that sizes may run small. Several mention the jacket's weight but also commend the quality and protective features. Overall, customers consider it suitable for varied weather conditions, though a few suggest improvements in sizing and weatherproofing.
Bought for a trip to Scotland, on the way up it lassed it down and I was very surprised to be dry, after that it was 26° and hot, took liners out and opened the vents and It was cool as ice, Highly recommended.
I bought my first RST Adventure X suit second-hand from a friend and wore them for three years without a single issue. When it came time to replace them, I never even considered another brand. They offer outstanding value for money, with excellent ventilation on hot days while remaining warm and comfortable when the temperature drops.
Excellent quality and durability, loads of pocket space, keeps you warm and dry
Excellent quality and very comfortable to wear
Love the vents and pockets. Fits really well, go for a size bigger. Rear pocket detaches and has a waist belt attached so you can wear it to keep valuables in when not wearing the jacket.
Bought textile to save the hassle of waterproofs over leathers and happy with comfort and warmth. Useful pocket for phone/wallet and liner comes out easily if the day warms up. Plenty of vents but haven't worn in above low 20s yet.
Really nice jacket, but quite heavy!
Note also that you cant add the chest armour into this one
Been in all weathers, heavy rain, hot sunshine and this is proven to be the best jacket money can buy
Looks great, warm in cold weather, cool in warm weather. Great price too considering you also get the back protection included which isn't common at this price point.
Only warn it a few times, and so far it’s been pretty good. Kept me warm in the colder hours of the day and wasn’t roasting later in the afternoon. I haven’t tried it in the rain yet.
After 18 months of wearing this jacket the velco has worn out, also the pockets are useless, I can't get my hands in the pockets to retrieve items.
The mobile phone pocket is not big enough for a modern phone.
Poor product for the price.
I first bought the matching trousers and as we will be touring the Alps later this year I thought I might as well get the matching jacket which will work for all weather riding. The jacket comes loaded with features, more vents and zips than you can ever need, well made and thought out. Zips to the matching trousers too. A couple of things to watch for, the back protector is quite thick, so if you add the water bladder it might be quite bulky so I changed it out for a Merlin D3O which is thinner and works a treat. The Jacket is warm but anything below 8c you might want another layer. Overall though, these are small observations and if you're thinking about this one, go for it.
Great jacket and such an improvement on my last one, although this was 15+ years old. Sizing came up a bit small so opted for one size larger than normal.
Great delivery from SBS
It’s a pity that the waterproof inner is also the warm liner. I would’ve preferred to have the waterproof liner either separate or laminated but this is reflected in the price. It’s perfect for winter or dry uk summer riding
Superb quality all round jacket , good value worth trying on in store for sizing. Lots of pockets and removable rear pouch .good lining removable and AA rated armour
Lots of options for riding in different temperatures with zipped vents. Good size pockets.
Handy detachable bag on back that integrates when not needed.
Sizing good, if not a little smaller than expected. With the thermal liner installed, I wouldn’t be able to wear anything other than a base layer underneath and remain comfortable with movement. Although I do not like particularly tight fitting garments as it feels restrictive and I like to be able to freely move when on the bike.
It’s plenty warm enough with liner and base layer anyway. I have been riding all year, in -0 temperatures for 1-2
hours without any issues. I have worn through heavy rain, and although stayed dry, frustratingly as the waterproof membrane is part of the liner the outer shell get saturated in anything other than a light shower and then is awkward to dry out.
I have the matching textile trousers which I am equally impressed with. The waist zip to connect the garments is a great feature although mine is misaligned. I am not sure if this the jacket or trousers at fault.
The jacket is also reassuringly heavy. Thats great on the bike, and ordinarily doesn’t cause too much issue.
But once at a destination, if you are off the bike and exploring, unless you have storage it’s a lot of weight to be carrying with you.
Would buy again, will be upgrading my daughter to this jacket next season. Like the colour options, would have gone for the silver/black disappointingly, as I need long trousers, my options were limited to black from SBS.
Great fit, great price and as always superb service from SBS. All in all quality!!
